Hi,

I installed
libfprint0 (20100820git-1ubuntu1) …
fprint-demo (20080303git-5ubuntu1) …
libpam-fprint (20080330+git-5) …
on Kubuntu 11.04

fprint-demo works !

How can I get the finger print check to unlock my screen in kde ?

It worked for me!

My laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ61WN. After enrolling and verifying my fingerprints I installed the pam module and it worked flawlessly.

Thank you a lot for your support.

Best regards,

I’m using Clevo TN120R equipped with Bus 004 Device 002: ID 147e:2016 Upek Biometric Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor
Using Ubuntu Karmic
I’ve managed to compile & install libusb, fprint, fprint demo, but still “No Device Detected”
Then I found this on PPA Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/~c4pp4/+archive/lenovo-r61i
There is libfprint package for IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R61i.
Now, I manage to install it, at least at fprint demo or fingerprintgui stage (enroll,verify) but no success yet on Identify and pam_fprint.
Hope it helps

docet, you’ll need the package libssl-dev for libcrypto, and I think libmagickcore-dev for the ImageMagick stuff.

I have MSI pr201 too @ Xubuntu 9.04 and same issue. I tried to compile 1.0 pre2 but when i try to ./configure no libcrypto is found and no package is available on synaptics. Any tip? I installed libcypto++ with no change. Also libmagick9 is not available in synaptics.

Cool! I got fprint_demo working on my Malibal Satori laptop (ID 147e:2016 Upek Biometric Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor), seems to work pretty well. Took me a while to figure out that all the config steps were in autogen.sh (stupidity on my part), I had to configure –prefix=/usr –libdir=/usr/lib64 to make it play nice with 64-bit Mandriva.
